Once picked, the fruit was minimally handled to preserve its quality. The juice underwent a cold fermentation lasting 10 to 14 days, with no malolactic fermentation in order to preserve the fruity aromas and crisp acidity. The wine was aged in bottle for three months prior to release.

Written Notes
Pale yellow color with green highlights. Intense, lifted nose with citrus, gooseberry and a touch of nettles. The palate is fine with refreshing acidity and a long, clean citrus finish. Lees aging in stainless-steel tanks for four months after completed fermentation added texture and length. This wine will complement all types of seafood and shellfish.

Inside Information
Mount Nelson is the fulfillment of Lodovico Antinori’s passion for Sauvignon Blanc. After years of experiments, Lodovico finally found his favorite terroir for the production of this grape in the area of Marlborough, New Zealand. Together with his winemaker, Helena Lindberg, they selected a vineyard that is ideal for the production of the wine that Lodovico had pursued for so long. The result is a remarkable Sauvignon Blanc that brings together the natural elements and flavors of the New World with a structure and minerality reminiscent of the Old World.
